Pamela IsleyPoison Ivy is a fictional comic book supervillain featured in the Batman family of comic book titles published by DC Comics. She first appeared in Batman #181, cover-dated June, 1966 and was created by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Sheldon Moldoff. She made only a few appearances during the 1960s and 1970s, but really came into her own as a viable foil to Batman during the mid-1980s. From there, she has evolved to become one of the Dark Knight's deadliest adversaries. OverviewPamela Isley was once a botanist from Seattle, Washington who studied under Professor Jason Woodrue. Woodrue's bizarre obsessions however led him to experiment on Isley, which mutated her on a genetic, and possibly even mystical level, giving her an immunity to all poisons and toxins, and also gifted her with the abiity to produce pheromones. This drove Isley insane and soon after she adopted the costumed identity of Poison Ivy. Over time, Poison Ivy discovered that she had a mystical connection to The Green and could control the growth of other plant life. As her sanity diminished even further, Ivy developed an obsessive desire to see plants eventually consume the world. |
